Publication Fee

IJRCM journal is a monthly double-blind peer reviewed refereed open access International e-Journal, which provides instant, worldwide and barrier-free access to the full-text of all published manuscripts to all interested readers in the best interests of the research community.

IJRCM do not sell published manuscripts and offer all published manuscripts free of cost to all members, researchers, libraries, organisations, companies and universities. Open access allows the research community to view, download, print, and redistribute any manuscript without a subscription, enabling far greater distribution of an author's work than the traditional subscription-based publishing model. Authors may also use their published .pdf's on their own or institution's website. Many authors in a variety of fields have begun to realise the benefits that open access publishing can provide in terms of increasing the impact of their work, because there is at all NO CHARGE to access its research content.

The publication costs of a manuscript are paid from an author's research budget, or by their supporting institutions.

As costs are involved in every stage of the publication process, like manuscript handling form submission to publication, peer-review, copy-editing, typesetting, tagging and indexing of articles, Electronic composition and production, hosting the final article on dedicated servers, electronic archiving, server and website update and maintenance, supporting sales and marketing costs to ensure global dissemination and administrative and overheads, the author is asked to pay manuscript publication fee.

The publication fee is 1450 INR for authors working/studying in India and 2300 INR to 6300 INR or 40 $ (Forty U.S. Dollars) to 100 $ (Hundred U.S. Dollars) for the other authors is payable for manuscript ACCEPTED for publication irrespective of the number of authors in the same, which will be billed to the corresponding author only. Additional fee of 100 INR OR 2 $ (Two U.S. Dollars) will also be charged fromthe author, whose manuscript is not as per the guidelines of the journal, well available on the website of the journal under the headingGuidelines for submission. The amount of fee charged by the journal is lower than most of the e-journals. The publication fee must be paid prior to its publication. There is no restriction on the length of research papers and reviews, although a concise manuscript is desirable. Coloured figures will not be charged extra. The article accepted for publication will be processed further towards publication after the author pays the publication fee.

If anybody do not have funds to pay publication fee, he/she will have an opportunity to request the Editor for fee waiver through the Head of his/her Institution/Department/University along with the reasons, because IJRCM does not want fees to prevent the publication of worthy work, however Publication fee waivers or discounts are granted on a case-by-case basis to authors who lack funds. To apply for a waiver or discount, one can request before the submission and no such requests can be made after the submission.

Failure to pay the Publication fee or any other due fee makes a manuscript liable to be placed back under access control, losing its open access status.
